Abstract
The newly synthesized [125I] monoiodoglucagon is shown to activate adenylyl cyclase in liver membranes with an EC50 between 5- and 8-fold lower than that of native glucagon. Further, it binds specifically to sites on liver plasma membranes that have the characteristics of glucagon receptors in terms of gua-nine nucleotide sensitivity and rates of reaction. It is suggested that [125I-Tyr10]monoiodoglucagon is a suitable probe for studying structural and functional properties of glucagon receptors.
